About this title

Review:

Noel Gregory has chosen five paintings by Renoir, which teach a great deal about the techniques and colours the Master used, which should, hopefully, help you develop your own work too. Noel gives a brief description of Renoir's life, talks about the materials you'll need, and how to transfer the image from the five tracings included with the book, before embarking on the demonstrations which include Lady with Parasol in Garden, Portrait of Actress Jeanne Samary, After the Bath, Mediterranean Fruits, and The River Seine at Chatou.-Leisure Painter
